SetOnOverdrive Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Whats the first line of the lyrics from the chorus? EDIT: Scratch that. Found the lyrics on GDA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh_oliday Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 See? I had totally missed this, I guess partly because I can't buy stuff from iTunes and so I don't pay much attention to the "X is now available on iTunes" type of news.And also because I feel we've been getting a new video/song every other day. Thanks for informing me though If it's just that you're not a fan of iTunes, it's available on Amazon now too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradGreenDay Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 I like this song... kinda a mix between 21stCB, AI and Nimrod.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cris. Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 If it's just that you're not a fan of iTunes, it's available on Amazon now too. Nah. It's my government that sucks and created a whole fucked up policy about purchasing foreign currency. You must have a credit card for more than 6 months to be able to apply to get dollars either for buying online or overseas. And for online purchaces you get a 400$ limit per year. I just got my credit card last month, so 5 more months of waiting for me, Hence too why I couldn't pre-order the ultimate set box nor join the Idiot Club again.

Guest Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 The chorus. Just sayin'. 1. I hear it. 2. How have I not heard of this band? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirginiaMisery Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 So has anyone tried to breakdown the "meaning" of this song? *coughcough*Michael*coughcough* (Did I miss any good analysis?) Billie did say in an interview that he "doesn't know what the fuck Nuclear Family is about," and I kind of get the same vague social commentary vibe out of it that I got from Kill the DJ, even though Billie was more assertive in saying that Kill the DJ has real meaning behind it, they're both kind of the same in their lyrically unclear message. If anything I think Nuclear Family is a bit easier to tackle simply because it's less metaphorical. The chorus seems pretty straightforward: death of the nuclear family (the end of social norms, social structures, everything we 'hold dear' in traditional society), sent to hell by capitalism or communism (Chinese company conspiracy) or whatever corrupt governments/economic systems, and the singer is OK with all of that as long as he can make fun of it and observe it and in some way, join in the destruction ("as long as it comes in hi-fidelity for me too"). Overall, I think the song has a very REM "It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel fine" message. But for GD it's "Like a nuclear bomb and it won't be long till I detonate." And they're having fun, so bring on the apocalypse. I love reading analyses of songs like this. And I love that you made it sound so sociological That social studies teacher in you really showed through in this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I didn't even look at your location. More on topic, has anyone found this for download somewhere other than Spotify. I mean to buy, not free downloads (for the mods :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DannyDirnt Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 For me this is better than Oh Love, equal to Kill the DJ and loses to LYG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ritz Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 MTV posted about Nuclear Family: Following Green Day's previous releases "Oh Love," "Let Yourself Go," and "Kill The DJ," "Nuclear Family" comments on social issues threatening parents and their kids. "Like a Chinese company conspiracy/ It's the death of a nuclear family staring up at you/ It's looking like another bad comedy/ Just as long as it comes in hi-fidelity for me too," sings Armstrong, who is shown in the minimalist video rocking OUT with Tré and Mike on a soundstage. The raw-seeming footage is an intimate portrait of what the boys must look like while they're practicing for a show, but don't worry -- there's plenty of video with them, say, riding dirt bikes together in the desert. So much Green Day, so little time! http://buzzworthy.mt...nuclear-family/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annie, get your gun Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Yesterday I listened it for the second time and it gave me chills Seriously, it's so awesome, but I can't say what's the best for me yet 'cause evey song seems to be greater than the last Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
localinsomniac Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 if you like this song: listen to safe european home by the clash. green day got "inspired" again. but safe european home has better lyrics, the better riff (gd's is quite similiar, but they did change it so it sounds not tooo close) and more energy. i find this song quite boring. should have recorded it faster at least. and if you compare the bass solo parts to mikes solo parts on insomniac, they are quite boring as well. but gonna give them credit to at least bring some bass breaks back... im not "hating" or anything, i just dont like it that much. its not terrible, but they ripped off my favourite punk song to a kind of boring pop rock tune. i know that they always copied a few melodys from the kinks (walking contradiction) or other artists before, but back then they kind of made it their own song, cause they added this green day power and great lyrics. and thats just not happening here. and now i know... "fuck off, you are not a real green day fan". yay. Haven't heard any of the songs, I'm waiting til release day. I just wanted you to know that I thoroughly enjoyed this post. Thank you.

Mandy_PunkRock Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 This song is like a drug to me! I'm addicted to this! I don't know how many times I've heard Nuclear Family, I have lost the count! Yesterday I listened it for the second time and it gave me chills Seriously, it's so awesome, but I can't say what's the best for me yet 'cause evey song seems to be greater than the last Yeah, same here! I can't choose my favourite song now. All the records I've heard so far are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
